COSTLY CONSIGNMENT.
Its Seizure by the Customs De-
clared Illegal.

SAN Francisco, October 6.-Last
December Wing Wo Chung & Co Of
Panama, shipped 1900 boxes of opium
to Wing Wo Sang & Co., of this city.
The collector seized the consignment
under the law forbidding Chinese to
import opium. A hard fight was made
over the matter, as the drug was
worth about $4,000. In the United
States District Court to-day it was de-
cided that the portion of the law COW
ering this case did not go into effect
until two months after the opium had
been imported, and consequently it
was released. The Government will
appeal.

Judge HOffman'S Op1n1On.
SAN FRANCISCO, Octobsf 6.-Judge
Hoffman, of the San Frs Acisco District
Court, to-day admitted Wa All Sin on
writ of habeas corpus. Wa All Sin
is the Chinaman who presented red
certificate, but was refused landing by
the Custom officials on the ground that
an immigrant had already been landed
on the white tag that corresponded to
to the certificate. This case was one
of much interest, from the fact that it
led to the investigation of the methods
of the Custom House officials in the
landing of Chinese. 1t appeared that
the officials had been permitting the
entrance of Chinese on the strength of
no other evidence of previous residence
than the tag.
THE DECISION.
Judge Hoffman said that he could
not hold innocent men responsible for
the ill-doings of officers Of the law.
Sin had proved by documentary evil
dence that he was the man described
in the certificate, and because another
immigrant had been landed on the
same entry, he could not be held re-
spondible. He had acted in good
faith, and, therefore, was entitled to
land
